Relient K was everything I could've hoped for and more. The five years of waiting was worth it in the first second I saw the back of Matt Thiessen's curly head. When I saw Hoopes' grin and the sincerity of the Matts' friendship. All I knew to do was breathe it in -- to close my eyes and capture every detail so it wouldn't slip away. These guys were the real deal. Are the real deal. And no one's ever going to change my mind about that.
While being united in the love of Relient K is seriously one of the best feelings ever, I know heaven will be that times a million-gazillion-trillion. Because we'll all be united in the love of Jesus, and the gratitude we owe to the One who saved us from ourselves.
"Take a good look at yourself and know
You've got yourself a ways to go
But difficult is not impossible
You can take back all the lost control
Take a good look at yourself and see
That you'll emerge eventually
As long as your heart's not too far gone
From the only Thing that can save you from yourself."
hope for every fallen man by relient k
I have a lot to learn and even more to do, but as long as I've got Jesus, I'll get there. It's reassuring that Matty T. feels the same way. Him and thousands of others. I'm not alone.

"I know heaven will be that times a million-gazillion-trillion. Because we'll all be united in the love of Jesus, and the gratitude we owe to the One who saved us from ourselves."
Truth.
You have my eyes welling up in a confusion of anxious excitement and ironic relatability. <3
